Master Helped Me Overcome an Illness Tribulation

March 21, 2026 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) I was in my 20s when I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. My child was young and I had a busy work schedule, so I had limited time to study the Fa or do the exercises. I stopped practicing in 1999 when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Dafa. I resumed practicing in 2007.

I’d like tell you about some of my extraordinary experiences of how I recovered from an illness karma tribulation.

I had severe sinusitis and suffered from frequent headaches when I was in my 20s. It’s cold in the north in winter, and I frequently caught the flu and my sinuses swelled. Due to the constant mucus discharge at night I had difficulty breathing or sleeping. When Master cleansed my body and eliminated my karma I experienced flu-like symptoms, such as coughing and a running nose, but I knew I wasn’t sick. I studied the Fa and did the exercises.

My sinusitis and headaches soon disappeared, and all my illnesses were gone.

Narrowly Escaping Death in Prison

I was incarcerated in Liaoning Women Prison because I practice Falun Dafa. I was forced to stand or I had to sit on a small stool for hours. I had bloody bowel movements almost every day, which eventually led to severe anemia and my complexion became sallow. I felt completely drained of energy. I was afraid I’d fall, so I steadied myself by holding onto the wall when I walked.

One day I realized that these illness symptoms were not Master cleansing my body, and I should not passively endure. I recalled what Master said,

“When a tribulation arrives, if you, a disciple, can truly maintain an unshakable calm or be determined to meet different requirements at different levels, this should be sufficient for you to pass the test. If it continues endlessly and if there do not exist other problems in your xinxing or conduct, it must be that the evil demons are capitalizing on the weak spots caused by your lack of control. After all, a cultivator is not an ordinary human. So why doesn’t the side of you that is your original nature rectify the Fa?” (“Expounding on the Fa,” in Essentials For Further Advancement)

I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the negative substances that were attacking me in another dimension. I thought, “If Master dissolves karma for me, I will bear it. If this is interference and persecution, it must stop. I am in charge of my body.” I recited the verse for sending righteous thoughts. My bloody stool stopped the next day.

I was imprisoned at the beginning of 2024 and I had bloody stools again. I visited the prison hospital but I was not given a diagnosis. A few days later a guard told me I needed surgery in a non-prison hospital and asked if there was anyone in my family who could take care of me. I said I wouldn’t go to a hospital, and I would recover after I was released. The guard asked me to write a statement saying that I assumed all the consequences. I refused.

My symptoms at the time were severe: I experienced heavy rectal bleeding every day and I was unable to walk or stand—I could only sit. The moment I stood up, my rectum would prolapse outside my anus; when I tried to walk, it would repeatedly slip out with every step, causing me excruciating discomfort.

An inmate had the same symptoms—yet the prison hospital dismissed her condition as hemorrhoids and prescribed some basic medication. She endured the symptoms for several years. In 2024, she finally underwent surgery, but was diagnosed with late stage rectal cancer. She sued the prison for misdiagnosis. Fearing the potential repercussions, the prison authorities agreed to grant her medical parole.

I felt surgery would not help, and it would be expensive. So, I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the entity in the other dimension who wanted to take my life. I sat in the full lotus position and sent righteous thoughts for half an hour. The following morning, my rectal bleeding stopped. I think Master saw my thought was correct and he eliminated my karma and the interference in the other dimension.

After I was released 6 months ago, I studied the Fa and did the exercises. I’m now fully recovered. I bought an apartment on the fifth floor at the beginning of this year and I hired someone to help me carry the materials upstairs to renovate it. I carried the things that weren’t too heavy.

These are just some of my extraordinary experiences. I am very fortunate to practice Dafa. I treasure every moment on my cultivation path.
